McCormick, Meghan; Mattera, Shira; Hsueh, JoAnn – MDRC, 2019
An investment in early childhood education pays off when the benefits continue into adulthood. Although many recent preschool interventions have had positive, short-term effects on young children's language, literacy, mathematics, executive function, and social-emotional development, studies show that related gains in cognitive and academic skills…

Talcott, Jan – 1971
The 11 progressive steps outlined in this document incorporate tactile, auditory, and visual exercises which take approximately two months to complete. These steps range from the simple task of having the children arrange three magazine pictures in sequential order and explain the arrangement, through reading a story segment to the children who…

McLeod, John; Greenough, Pauline – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
Memory tasks administered individually to grade 1 and grade 4 good (N=20) and poor (N=29) spellers were scored for both gross and ordered sequential recall. Good spellers had higher threshold scores in gross memory rather than specifically superior sequential memory. (Author)

Ediger, Marlow – 2001
Quality sequence for each student in reading instruction is vital. If "learnings" to be acquired are not sequential, then a student might well face difficulties in learning to read well. Some of the problems in reading instruction may be inherent in the basal textbook being used, and sometimes, problems of reading instruction reside…

McRae, Sandra G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
The study examined relationships between two modes of information processing, simultaneous and sequential, and two sets of reading skills, word recognition and comprehension, among 40 second and third grade students. Results indicated there is a relationship between simultaneous processing and reading comprehension. (Author)

Hurley, Oliver L.; And Others – 1976
The question of whether Black children "peak" earlier than White children in auditory sequential memory (ASM) was investigated in 122 Black children and 120 White children in grades k-3 in two racially mixed schools in a large southern community. Each S was given the ASM subtest of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities. Results…

Bennett, Peggy D. – Music Educators Journal, 2005
Walk into any primary grade music class in the U.S., and you will likely hear teacher and students singing a musical greeting, such as "Good morning boys and girls" (sol-mi-mi-sol-sol-mi) and the response "Good morning Miss Purdy" (sol-mi-mi-sol-mi-mi). Since about the 1970s, teachers have been beginning and ending music class for young children…

Third grade children (n=24) who were administered the standard, simultaneous version of the Matching Familiar Figures test committed fewer errors when administered a sequential version of the same test than did subjects (n=24) who took the more difficult sequential version first. (PN)

Duran, Ruth T.; Gauvain, Mary – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1993
Compared the collaborative patterns of seven- and five-year-old expert planners working with five-year-old novice planners on tasks requiring reverse sequencing strategies. Results suggest that cognitive gains are achieved when children collaborate with peers more expert than themselves in problem-solving activities. (MM)

Langstaff, Anne L.; And Others – 1973
Compared was the performance of 17 preschool and 10 early elementary educable mentally retarded (EMR) children with the performance of 50 normal preschool children on a developmental sequence of tasks in visual perception. Tested were the skills of recognition, discrimination, recall, and reconstruction of common objects, size concepts, shape…

DeVries, Rheta – 1971
A study was conducted to clarify a number of issues related to Piaget's theory of invariant sequantiality in child cognitive development. Ss were 143 middle-class white children of bright, average and retarded psychometric abilities (measured by performance on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test). Bright and average Ss were chronologically aged…

Chambers, Gary N. – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 1995
This paper describes the Reading Recovery program implemented at a special needs school in Kiel, Germany. The program is intended to offer primary-grade pupils a second chance to obtain reading and writing skills. The highly structured reading program involves isolation of difficulties, work on word structure, learning consonant-vowel combinations…
